Electric Car News; Tesla (NASDAQ: $TSLA) Reveals Master Plan

Electric Car News; Tesla (NASDAQ: $TSLA) Reveals Master Plan

Point Roberts, WA, Delta BC – July 212016 – Investorideas.com, a global news source and investor resource covering actively traded sectors reports on electric car maker, Tesla Motors (NASDAQ:TSLA) as the much anticipated master plan was revealed by CEO, Elon Musk. Shares are down in today’s trading session, trading as low as $220.50.

Read the full plan blog post https://www.tesla.com/blog/master-plan-part-deux

Integrate Energy Generation and Storage

Create a smoothly integrated and beautiful solar-roof-with-battery product that just works, empowering the individual as their own utility, and then scale that throughout the world. One ordering experience, one installation, one service contact, one phone app.

We can't do this well if Tesla and SolarCity are different companies, which is why we need to combine and break down the barriers inherent to being separate companies. That they are separate at all, despite similar origins and pursuit of the same overarching goal of sustainable energy, is largely an accident of history. Now that Tesla is ready to scale Powerwall and SolarCity is ready to provide highly differentiated solar, the time has come to bring them together.

Expand to Cover the Major Forms of Terrestrial Transport

Today, Tesla addresses two relatively small segments of premium sedans and SUVs. With the Model 3, a future compact SUV and a new kind of pickup truck, we plan to address most of the consumer market. A lower cost vehicle than the Model 3 is unlikely to be necessary, because of the third part of the plan described below.

What really matters to accelerate a sustainable future is being able to scale up production volume as quickly as possible. That is why Tesla engineering has transitioned to focus heavily on designing the machine that makes the machine -- turning the factory itself into a product. A first principles physics analysis of automotive production suggests that somewhere between a 5 to 10 fold improvement is achievable by version 3 on a roughly 2 year iteration cycle. The first Model 3 factory machine should be thought of as version 0.5, with version 1.0 probably in 2018.

In addition to consumer vehicles, there are two other types of electric vehicle needed: heavy-duty trucks and high passenger-density urban transport. Both are in the early stages of development at Tesla and should be ready for unveiling next year. We believe the Tesla Semi will deliver a substantial reduction in the cost of cargo transport, while increasing safety and making it really fun to operate.

With the advent of autonomy, it will probably make sense to shrink the size of buses and transition the role of bus driver to that of fleet manager. Traffic congestion would improve due to increased passenger areal density by eliminating the center aisle and putting seats where there are currently entryways, and matching acceleration and braking to other vehicles, thus avoiding the inertial impedance to smooth traffic flow of traditional heavy buses. It would also take people all the way to their destination. Fixed summon buttons at existing bus stops would serve those who don't have a phone. Design accommodates wheelchairs, strollers and bikes.

Autonomy

As the technology matures, all Tesla vehicles will have the hardware necessary to be fully self-driving with fail-operational capability, meaning that any given system in the car could break and your car will still drive itself safely. It is important to emphasize that refinement and validation of the software will take much longer than putting in place the cameras, radar, sonar and computing hardware.

Even once the software is highly refined and far better than the average human driver, there will still be a significant time gap, varying widely by jurisdiction, before true self-driving is approved by regulators. We expect that worldwide regulatory approval will require something on the order of 6 billion miles (10 billion km). Current fleet learning is happening at just over 3 million miles (5 million km) per day.

I should add a note here to explain why Tesla is deploying partial autonomy now, rather than waiting until some point in the future. The most important reason is that, when used correctly, it is already significantly safer than a person driving by themselves and it would therefore be morally reprehensible to delay release simply for fear of bad press or some mercantile calculation of legal liability.

According to the recently released 2015 NHTSA report, automotive fatalities increased by 8% to one death every 89 million miles. Autopilot miles will soon exceed twice that number and the system gets better every day. It would no more make sense to disable Tesla's Autopilot, as some have called for, than it would to disable autopilot in aircraft, after which our system is named.

It is also important to explain why we refer to Autopilot as "beta". This is not beta software in any normal sense of the word. Every release goes through extensive internal validation before it reaches any customers. It is called beta in order to decrease complacency and indicate that it will continue to improve (Autopilot is always off by default). Once we get to the point where Autopilot is approximately 10 times safer than the US vehicle average, the beta label will be removed.

Sharing

When true self-driving is approved by regulators, it will mean that you will be able to summon your Tesla from pretty much anywhere. Once it picks you up, you will be able to sleep, read or do anything else enroute to your destination.

You will also be able to add your car to the Tesla shared fleet just by tapping a button on the Tesla phone app and have it generate income for you while you're at work or on vacation, significantly offsetting and at times potentially exceeding the monthly loan or lease cost. This dramatically lowers the true cost of ownership to the point where almost anyone could own a Tesla. Since most cars are only in use by their owner for 5% to 10% of the day, the fundamental economic utility of a true self-driving car is likely to be several times that of a car which is not.

In cities where demand exceeds the supply of customer-owned cars, Tesla will operate its own fleet, ensuring you can always hail a ride from us no matter where you are.

SilverCrest (TSXV: $SIL.V) Reports Additional High Grade Underground Sampling Results at Las Chispas

SilverCrest (TSXV: $SIL.V) Reports Additional High Grade Underground Sampling Results at Las Chispas

Vancouver - July 19, 2016 (Investorideas.com Newswire) SilverCrest Metals Inc. (TSXV: $SIL.V) ("SilverCrest" or the "Company") is pleased to announce an update on the underground rehabilitation program with additional assay results from underground channel sampling at its Las Chispas Project ("Las Chispas") located in Sonora, Mexico . Las Chispas is in a historic silver-gold mining district which presently hosts two nearby precious metal producers. Historic information indicates that only three veins of the fourteen historically reported veins at Las Chispas have had documented production, which occurred between 1880 and 1930. SilverCrest's initial focus is on these three veins; the Las Chispas, William Tell and Babicanora. To the Company's knowledge, none of the known veins have ever been drilled. For more information, please refer to our website at www.silvercrestmetals.com.

N. Eric Fier , CPG, P.Eng, President & CEO remarked, "It is very encouraging to receive additional high grade results from our ongoing underground channel sampling program at Las Chispas as we continue to gain further access to historic workings. Our onsite team has safely ascended to the historic 300 level** of the Las Chispas vein with subsequent ongoing mapping and sampling. Our channel sample results on the 300 and 400 levels are showing multiple grades of plus 1 kilogram per tonne silver and up to 2.2 kilograms per tonne silver equivalent*. We are experiencing minimal challenges in accessing and rehabilitating the underground workings. Rehabilitation mainly consists of the removal and stockpiling of historic backfill material along with safely constructing ladders and bridges. We are currently surface drilling based on the expanded Phase I program with ongoing compilation of all our drill data and integration with underground results."

Underground Rehabilitation Update

The Company continues to systemically collect channel samples at intervals of two to three metres along strike length as new areas and levels are being explored. In its news release dated June 9, 2016 , the Company disclosed that it had gained access to the historic 400 level and reported results from nine initial samples. Since then, the Company has collected a total of 327 additional channel samples from multiple levels as reported below. Sampling locations and widths are restricted to historic workings which may only represent part of the mineralized vein, stockwork, or breccia. The location, true thickness and extent of mineralization is indeterminate until adequate drilling is completed.

The most significant composited sample results for this release average 1.5 metres wide at 2.4 grams per tonne ("gpt") gold and 331.0 gpt silver, or 508.0 gpt silver equivalent (AgEq*, uncut, undiluted) over a continuous 35 metre strike length in an unmined area of breccia on the 400 level (see attached Figure and Photo). Also noteworthy is an average of 1.1 metres wide at 1.55 gpt gold and 334.9 gpt silver, or 450.9 gpt AgEq over a semi-continuous 90 metre strike length on the 300 level. From initial mapping, a majority of the 330 level appears to be in the hangingwall of the vein with the vein undulating in (high grade) and out (low grade) of the underground workings. Ongoing drilling will help test the true thickness and grade of mineralization in this area.

The following table summarizes the 20 most significant un-composited assay results (uncut, undiluted) from various levels of the Las Chispas vein only;

All assays were completed by ALS Chemex in Hermosillo, Mexico , and North Vancouver, BC.

The Company is reviewing the possibility of a controlling, cross-cutting, high grade structural corridor at the Las Chispas vein which is potentially 500 metres in length and a minimum of 300 metres in depth (see attached Figure).

To gain access to underground workings, backfill material is being removed from historical drifts and stopes. This material is being sampled, assayed, and stockpiled for potential future processing. To date, 43 representative grab samples have been collected from backfill material for Las Chispas vein and William Tell vein. Average grade of these samples is 2.45 gpt gold, 239.0 gpt silver, or 423.0 gpt AgEq with grades up to 42.20 gpt Au and 1,920.0 gpt Ag or 5,085.0 gpt AgEq.

#Israeli #Tech Firms Ahead of the Curve; Joshua Kaplan, Senior Research Analyst at BlueStar Indexes Shares Insight on Opportunities for #Investors

#Israeli #Tech Firms Ahead of the Curve; Joshua Kaplan, Senior Research Analyst at BlueStar Indexes Shares Insight on Opportunities for #Investors

#Stocks Discussed: $MLNX, $ATTU, $ORBK, $LPSN, $DSPG, $ICL

Point Roberts, WA, Delta BC – July 19, 2016 – Investorideas.com, a global news source and investor resource covering actively traded sectors including tech stocks interviews Joshua Kaplan, Senior Research Analyst at BlueStar Indexes. Josh talks about the tech sector and publicly traded Israeli tech firms that are ahead of the curve in big data, the Internet of Things, cyber security and water.

Josh also discusses their indexes and the ET’s that track them, providing investors an opportunity to invest in Israeli technology.

Talking about the formation of his firm, Josh said, “The vision of the company was based on a demand for investing in Israeli stocks by pro-Israeli institutional investors in the US. We looked at why the investment opportunity was lacking and we found there was a limited number of investment vehicles for them to use and the indexes that benchmarked Israeli stocks missed the mark on many fronts.“

To fill the gap, he told us, “We have built a family of five indexes that are calculated in real time. All of our indexes use a global approach to indexing Israeli stocks which means that we don’t invest just based on that they are listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. When you do that, you miss out on the most exciting investment case for Israel - which is the technology sector.

We have launched two ETF’s in the US tracking our indexes. One we licensed to VanEck that has created an ETF traded under the symbol (NYSEArca: ISRA), that tracks our broad Israel index for all sectors. Last year we partnered with a firm called ETF Managers Group and launched our own index based on tech stocks, traded under the symbol ITEQ - the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange also partnered with us on that index last year. In addition to the ETF’s in the US there are five mutual funds tacking our index in Israel.

We have not limited our tech index to information technology. We wanted every interesting sector Israel is part of including defense technology, biopharma, biotech and cleantech.”

When looking at Israeli stocks he said, “Most of Israel’s expertise is based on a history of communications technology and everything stems off of that.”

“Communications equipment is anything internet-related or machine-to-machine communications. Any sector related to that is now being commercialized. It was technology being used by military and government. We are looking at cybersecurity, big data, management analytics, Internet of Things and a lot of technology hardware that enables a lot of this.”

Read this release in full at http://www.investorideas.com/news/2016/technology/07191.asp

Some specific companies he shares thoughts on:

“Mellanox Technologies, Ltd. (NASDAQ: MLNX) is one of the leading providers of data connectivity solutions. They are developers of internet cables, switches and they are also the only competitor to Intel with a technology called InfiniBand. Why is that important? …Mellanox is the first and only company to offer 100 Gigabit per second end to end connectivity for data centers and the first company to commercialize the technology. It is extremely important because anything that is going over the internet or over the cloud, especially things that use a ton of bandwidth or have to collect data from data bases from servers around the globe that have to be to communicate with each other at faster and faster speeds – 100 Gigabit per second is really a revolutionary thing for data centers. “

“Another company that is much smaller, that is related, is Attunity, Ltd. (NASDAQ: ATTU), a software company. In a way I can draw a parallel between Mellanox and Attunity, where Mellanox is the hardware connectivity and Attunity is the software enabling transfer.”

“In order for us to be able to use Microsoft Office 365 and to collaborate across the world, there has to be some sort of database engine that is updating information in real-time. So if I update a document on my computer here or if I download what I am working on, a massive database of big retailers changing the pricing structure for example, I want to make sure my databases all around the world are updated at the same time. We are talking about terabytes of data and it’s really not that easy to accomplish. Attunity is arguably the best of breed in that technology.

Attunity, Ltd. (NASDAQ: ATTU) is a company I have been following for a long time. It is exemplary of Israeli companies, where they are ahead of the curve and it takes awhile for the market to pick up on their products and the capital markets to pick up on the story of the stock.”

Other companies he likes include Orbotech Ltd. (NASDAQ: ORBK), which he says “is a very interesting and important small cap company. They have two main lines of business. They do what is called automated optical inspection for PCB manufacturers and flat panel display manufacturers; the other line of business is semiconductor packaging - both extremely important industries in the technology supply chain today.”

LivePerson Inc. (NASDAQ: LPSN) is a dual-listed software solution company that was the first company to do online customer engagement and DSP Group Inc. (NASDAQ:DSPG) are also on his suggested watch list.

When talking about technology in the water sector, he said there is innovation in the space but there are no specific publicly traded companies for investors to follow. He said Israel Chemicals Ltd. (NYSE: ICL), a dual-listed company is a desalination company that exports technology.

When asked about what he sees in the IPO pipeline he said there is nothing to mention for 2016. ”For the first time we are not seeing any companies entering the public market.”

In closing Josh said the focus for the next few years is on revenue growth for all the companies they follow.

#Tech News : CTO of Gopher Protocol (OTCQB: $GOPH) Talks about Testing Their #GuardianPatch Prototype Units; Location Technology that Works with or without #GPS

What’s Next?…Upcoming Tracking Contest for Guardian Patch Plays into Phenomenon of New GPS Location Mobile Apps Like Pokémon Go

PERRIS, California, Point Roberts WA, - July 19, 2016 - Investorideas.com, a global news source covering tech stocks interviews Danny Rittman, CTO of Gopher Protocol Inc. (OTCQB:GOPH). Danny talks about the recent milestone of completing Guardian Patch prototype units, their location technology that works with or without GPS and the extensive testing program underway.

Danny also talks about their pending consumer contest to locate a Guardian Patch, at a certain location in a certain time, via simply looking at the Guardian Patch APP (no registration required), resembling Pokémon Go, though not virtual… and a chance to win a $500 prize. Pokémon Go, the GPS-based augmented reality mobile game that lets players catch and train Pokémon characters has taken the world by storm. The app has taken over rank of leaders in social media, passing Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat in Google Play on Android devices. Danny is hoping that this new worldwide buzz about GPS tracking apps can build consumer interest for their stick-on tracking device that protects and tracks objects and also potentially saves lives.
